BINDING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Manama 17, 1913.

To all whom it may concern." 0

Be it known that we, WILLIAM HOLLMANN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Mount Vernon, in the county of Westchester and Stateof New York, and PAUL SELLHAST, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improve.

ments in Bindings, of which the following is a specification.

- This invention relates to bindings and has for its object to provide abinding which represents a front view of an apparatus for producingounirnproved. binding,""Fi represents aplan view of a'blnding ma e'1naccordance with our Invention, F1gj=3 is a vertical, transverse sectionof the binding taken on lines 3'-3 of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a plan view ofthe binding with a different form of embossing, and Fig. 5 is avertical, transverse section ofthebinding, taken online 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views of the drawing. 7

Referring to the drawings, the lower roll 10 is gnade of paper, as olS.usual, and supported on a shaftll suitably supported in the bearings of"the machine; The upper or embossin roll 12 is suitably supported byshaft 13 in the bearings of the machine, and has its interior heated ina well known manner. The exterior surface'of the roll is provided with aperipheral incision which is V-shaped in the embodiment shown in Fig; 1with the a%pex of the V formingthe innermost part of the roll. A grooveis provided at the apex of the V. The surfaces of the incision areembossed and the groove is in Application mea'o'c'tobe'r 7;"1'911. seam110,653,381.

consonance with the meetin line of the embossing lines. In the emboiment shown in .Fig. 1, the embossing teeth meet each other at the apex16 of the V and the multiplicity of apexes form the meeting line 17. Theincision 18 hasits apex in line with or in consonance with the medianline 17 V By operating the roll 15 and the roll 10 the pressure appliedunder the simultaneous action of heat forces the paper of the roll 10intothe incision, after which the paper roll 10 acts as a male. die, andthe roll 15 as female die.

Between this male die and this female die, a strip of material isapplied which is compressed between the two dies,

and by the action of the pressure and heat and the rib 20 of roll 10 andgroove 21 of .roll 15, the central part of the strip of mate-.

rial is thinned out and forced outwardly of the median line of the striptowardthe. outer edge of the strip. This is shown clearly in Figs. 2, 3and It is usual in the art to prov'ide'the strips with bent-over edges26 and in that case the strip is first provided with the bent-over"edges and passed through a pressing roll before it is passed through theforming rolls 15 and 10.

Other forms of. embossing may be used, as for instance, parallelembossing shown in Fig. 4, it being essential, however, to provide theinner part of the strips witha portion 24 thinned relatively to theouterpart 25. The outer partis thereby relatively thicker and thereb the striof material may be readily crease along-te central thinned out portionand then bent outward around the curved or rounded portion of thematerial to which the binding strip is to be applied.

' Our improved invention obviates the ne cessity of cutting goods on thebias, as here tofore, and thereby a good deal of material is savedwhichwas lost when goods were cut on the bias. The strips so obtained,as described, are wound on spools and distributedfor various uses. p r

By the apparatus described an -entirely new binding 15 produced, whichis convenient, simple and practical. v

The invention is not confined to bindings .thinned at the-middle andthickened atthe edges, since the outer part may instead be thinned andforced inwardly, thus thicken 'ing the inner part.

Having thus described our invention, We In testimony, that we claim theforegoing v clalm as new and deslre to secure by Letters as ourmventlon, we have slgned our names 10 Patent: 1 in presence of twosubscribing Witnesses.
